Handmade Mother’s Day Card Inspiration with Scrapbook.com Exclusives

Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and while this day can bring up all kinds of emotions, I hope this card offers a little spark of inspiration—whether you're making something to honor a loved one, or simply want to create something beautiful. One of the best things about handmade cards is how easy it is to customize them. Just switch out the sentiment to fit your needs!

Let’s take a closer look at how I made this layered and love-filled card using some of my favorite Scrapbook.com Exclusives.

HOW IT CAME TOGETHER

I started with a pretty checked pattern from the Meadow Paper Pad, which I die cut using one of the edges from the Decorative Edges Die Set for a soft, detailed border.

Next came the layering fun! I used a mix of dies—including Nested Stitched Stamps, Labels, Tickets, and Butterflies 2—to cut pieces from both the Meadow and Vintage Paper Pads. This gave me a beautiful variety of shapes and textures to work with.

To add a bit of organic detail, I cut the Sprigs Die Set from Distress Watercolor Cardstock and ink smooshed them using coordinating Distress Inks. It’s such a fun way to add a touch of whimsy and custom color.

Finally, I die cut the sentiment from the Mother’s Day Die Set using cardstock that matched the color palette of the card. It all came together with soft layers, sweet details, and lots of heart.

Enjoy The Journey | Tim Holtz Sizzix March 2025

Enjoy the journey and the Tim Holtz Vault Embossing Folder release! I don't know about you, but I LOVE embossing folders! There are SO many ways you can use them and they are always perfect for adding some interest and texture to your card.

Tim Holtz just released a set of 5 embossing folders that are based on designs that were released in the past. These new folders have been updated to have a little more dimension than the originals, but if you happen to have the originals, you might not need these. However, for those of us (myself included) that didn't get them the first time around this re-release is a wonderful opportunity!

To create the background I used the Vault Airmail Embossing Folder. I embossed a piece of white cardstock and then rubbed Fired Brick and Faded Jeans Distress Ink Pads over the embossed design. Quite honestly I was just playing around and wasn't expecting to use this as a card background, but when I was finished playing I really liked it! I then finished it off with some layered of cardstock and die cut pieces that added to the theme. 

If you would like to see the difference between these new embossing folders and the originals, make sure to CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO.


Here's a look at the 5 Vault Embossing Folders that are now available!
Which ones are you loving? Do you have any of the original embossing folders in your stash?
